Of particular note is that the property boundary at the two street frontages is set back a distance of approximately 5-feet from the back of the sidewalk – and historically, this land, though part of the right-of-way, was integrated into the designed landscape. Therefore, the project boundary has been expanded at the right-of-way property lines to include lands extending out to the existing street curb. For the purposes of this CLR, the Martin House property has been subdivided into individual landscape areas referred to herein as ‘Landscape Units.’ [Fig. 5] The division of the property into individual units facilitates the inventory and analysis of its features, as well as provides clarity of orientation and reference within the report. The units were developed after the primary historic research and existing conditions inventory were completed, and are based on a combination of historically and contemporarily defined spaces, once-extant planting features, viewsheds, relationships with extant buildings and structures, and property lines. Additionally, some landscape units have been further subdivided into sub-areas to simplify communication of character defining features. The identified landscape units include: Fig. 4 Aerial photo with project area (historic core boundary) delineated.
